Re: 86 Suburban daily driver
And lastly I've cleaned up some wiring. I have no idea what possessed the last stereo installer to do what they did, but it's fixed now. I have a confession, I *never* use butt connectors. I showed the Suburban to a friend last week, who noticed the butt connectors and commented that he couldn't believe I would even drive it like that! Ha, so I had to fix it!
The power wire to the radio was 36" long, had four butt connectors (both red and blue ones), and the wire was wrapped around the radio fuse and pushed in the slot. Oh man! They completely bypassed the original radio wire that already ran to that fuse and was right there.
The radio is back in and working properly now. I will come back and make an 18 gauge plate to replace the plastic one in the radio install kit, and I will also clean up the hole in the dash that was chopped in there before installing my nicer bezel.
